Just had the car remapped (drives so much better now) but the 4wd light has come on and we can't work out why. As far as I know the 4wd is controlled by a separate ecu, at least it is in the Skyline, so I was presuming it's still the case in the Stagea? This is on a series 1 rs4 that's had a manual gearbox conversion. Not had a problem with the 4wd system before, any help would be appreciated.

No gone for the Link G4 ecu.Don't think anything that was done would have affected the throttle position sensor, how would that affect the 4wd?

Yeah could be coincidence, but the light came on as soon as the new ecu was plugged in.

I have the same problem. Well sort of anyway.

My 4wd light comes on probably 8/10 times I drive the car. Sometimes straight away, some times not at all... I have the rs4s with a 'mines' ecu.

I am putting a new set of wheels on this Friday and getting a wheel alignment so if that doesn't fix it (doubt it will) then further investigation is needed.

I am keen to see if there is known problems that cause this as well.

Hey mate,

Was it tuned on a 2wd dyno? Might have clutch pack problem if you did...

Can you jack it up so all 4 wheels are off the ground? If you can, spin the rear wheels. If the front wheels turn as you do, you still have pressure in the ATTESA system. If not, you might be in strife. Best case, the clutches took a beating but are ok and you just need to get some more fluid in the system, check the reservoir in the drivers side rear.

I have the R33, R34 GTR service manual if you can get access to a consult box; it will tell you whats going on...

good luck, pm me if you need anything.

Ayvon, if your car is the R33 GTR, it's pin 56

Link/ViPec and some other computers "share" the TPS signal from the TPS sensor instead of relying it which inturn lowers the voltage at the various control units, the 34 feels it the most because of the MFD, this is an issue I'm having at the moment and the cure, for me atleast, is a buffer to up the voltages back to correct levels

stagea rs4s s2 run the 25neo
i have replaced factory ecu now im having intermittent 4wd issues im trying to figure out what pinout / wire was suplying the 4wd ecu with tps signal
at this point i was going to t it off straight from tps

MFD, Multi Function Display, R34 GTR

where are located ?, I have a guy making me a voltage chaser, basically it takes a high imp input and puts out a low imp out put so it can supply the right signal voltage for more things to use, on mine I'm going to cut it in to the wire leaving the ecu, he made me a PWM switching unit for my fuel pump and it works perfectly

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
